School Dinners Important Update

From Monday 12th October 2020, we will once again be offering a daily hot dinner as part of our available lunch options.

The menu will be the same as communicated out on 1st April (copy attached) the only difference will be that pupils will have their lunches pre-boxed for them to eat in the classrooms, unless they eat lunch in the hall in which case they will be served through the kitchen servery as normal.

Parents will be able to pre-order a sandwich via the order forms that have previously been used (copy also attached). Orders must be placed the week before they are required due to catering orders therefore we encourage parents to go through the menu with their child to ensure they are aware of the hot options available each week and order sandwiches accordingly. The menu is on a 3 week rota and changes each week, so you will need to take that into consideration if ordering sandwiches.

School meals are free (Universal Free) for Reception to year 2, Free School Meal Children remain the same, and all other meals are chargeable at £2.35 each. Chargeable meal accounts do need to be kept in credit via the Telford and Wrekin Website. If you require your child’s login details please email school on a2190@taw.org.uk.

As always, thank you for your attention and co-operation.

Reading is Magic

Base 12 have enjoyed watching 3 podcasts today from the ‘Reading Is Magic Festival’.

They have learnt all about how where we live can inspire us, how fiction can be inspired by fact and the importance of protecting our wild life and environment.

Black History Month Competition

October is Black History Month. To celebrate this, Telford and Wrekin Council are inviting us to take part in the attached art competition. If you would like to enter, complete your art work at home and email a photo of it to the address on the poster. Good luck.

‘Reading is Magic Festival’, a unique national and international platform to celebrate and promote the value of reading and books has begun!

Follow the link below to take a look at some of the fantastic, free, online events that you and your children can take part in.

Programme of Events

Spelling Homework

Don’t forget that weekly spellings are available on the year group class spelling pages. The children will now be bringing their spellings home on a Friday in their reading record to copy out at home ready to take their reading record back to school on a Monday.

Accelerated Reader ZPD

If your child is on Accelerated Reader, they should be bringing home their new AR book this weekend. This book will show the ZPD number that the children will be starting at based on the results of their STAR Reading Test which they have completed this week.

 

Reading Ideas

The children will be keeping their reading book in school all week and bringing their book home on a Friday in order to read to the adults at home. They will  be encouraged to read other books/materials at home throughout the week as well.

The Peters Books website still has a suggested list of reading books categorised by year groups and a set of downloadable activities for children to complete based on different books.

The National Oak Academy is currently updating its pages and will have various reading activities for the children to do.

Have a look at the links below.
